The servant took Shen Nanxing straight to the Duke's study.

But as soon as he got closer, two swords were stretched out and placed in front of him.

"No one outside of the study is allowed to approach this important area!"

Two guards stood on each side, with their heads held high and expressionless faces.

The servant looked at her and raised his head even higher: "Open your eyes wide and see, is this some random person? This is the eldest daughter of our Duke's Mansion!"

The two guards looked at each other and exchanged glances.

The next moment, the two swords suddenly moved one step closer to the servant.

"Leave quickly!"

What is the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion?

It's obvious that this doorman is talking nonsense. There is no eldest daughter in the Duke's Mansion!

There was only one little girl, only a few months old, who couldn't even walk yet...

The servant was so frightened that he quickly took a step back.

When he lowered his head, he saw that his clothes were torn on his chest.

He was so angry that he jumped up and down.

If I had retreated slower, wouldn't I have been killed by them?

The servant held his breath and took a few steps back until he was far enough away from the two guards.

Suddenly he made a trumpet shape with his hand and put it to his mouth, then shouted towards the study.

"My Lord, the young lady is back!"

"Guards Xue and Li won't let the young lady in!"

When the two guards heard this, they were furious and jumped up to catch the troublemaker.

When the Duke is working in his study, he hates being disturbed.

This boy is simply looking for death by shouting like that!

When the servant saw that the situation was not good, he ran away, and the two guards chased him relentlessly.

But the servant kept running around in circles around the study.

What a joke! He was caught off guard and his clothes were scratched.

He was a naughty child, and every now and then his mother would chase him around the village with a stick...

Although he is not good at martial arts, he is experienced in escaping. There is no way that two mere guards can catch him!

After running for a while, he still found time to shout towards the study: "Duke, the young lady is back!"

Whenever the guards tried to catch him, he would slip away like a loach.

The two guards had dark faces and were filled with rage. They no longer used their hands to catch anyone. As long as they saw a person, they would just chop him with their swords!

What made them even more angry was that no matter what, they couldn't cut it down...

There was a commotion outside the study.

In the study, Duke Xu Shenzhi was writing a memorial to be presented to His Majesty tomorrow, and was now frowning as he carefully considered his wording.

In three days, Nanxing will lead his troops to war.

He had to make careful plans. Although he couldn't go to the battlefield with her, he would at least help her to the best of his ability.

As I was writing, I heard loud noises of fighting outside.

Xu Shenzhi frowned, his heart filled with impatience.

What do the guards outside do for a living?!

Just as I was about to lose my temper, I heard loud shouts coming from all directions of the study.

"My Lord, the young lady is back!"

"My Lord, the young lady is back!"

"..."

It rings here, then there, and it never ends!

Xu Shenzhi frowned even more tightly.

What lady?

When did the Duke's Mansion have a young lady?

Could it be...

His eyes lit up as he thought of something. He slammed the brush on the desk, stood up and walked out.

Because he walked too fast, he tripped over a chair and fell flat on his face.

Xu Shenzhi: ...

He couldn't get up.

Just then, he heard a familiar female voice coming from outside.

"Brothers, please stop chasing me. I am Shen Nanxing from Nanyang Marquis Mansion. I have come here specially to see my uncle today!"

In an instant, the noise outside stopped.

It was the voice of two guards: "It turns out to be Miss Shen, I am sorry for the inconvenience!"

"I will go in and inform you right away."

"Don't come in!"

The Duke, who had always been calm and composed, panicked.
